Lost in the Unreal

I slip through hours, losing little things,
thoughts misplaced like sand in wind.
Chasing shadows shaped by dreams
that never lived, yet feel like truth.

Reality fades to a softer hue,
while illusions bloom in silent corners.
Minute by minute, I drift away
living in a world that never was,
but keeps calling me home.

Someday, You Will Find Me

Somewhere in the quiet corners of the world,
I feel a soul that matches mine
a heartbeat walking toward me
though we’ve never met in time.

It’s a fairy-land belief, I know,
a dream stitched with star-light threads
yet I keep it warm within my chest,
a hope my heart still gently spreads.

Maybe you breathe beneath the same sky,
maybe you dream a dream like mine…
and someday, when the world is kind,
your path and mine will finally align.

Until then, I’ll keep dreaming
for dreams are where you exist,
a soft, unseen promise
I refuse to resist.

The Days That Drift

Life moves without a wish,
just breath for the sake of breath,
a body walking out of fear
the shadow of silent death.

Once the days were simple,
then the world turned hard and tight,
and just when joy returned at last,
it slipped away from sight.

Now every dawn feels empty,
no dream to chase, no climb
just waiting for the final hug
that ends the ache of time.

Afraid of how it meets me,
yet tired of how I live…
I stand between fear and longing,
with nothing left to give.

The Pain Within

You lose a job, you lose a love,
you lose the ones you’re dreaming of.
Parents gone, it feels like death,
a life half-lived, a stolen breath.

No sun now shines, no flowers bloom,
just endless nights and quiet gloom.
A pain too deep for words to say,
it hides within, yet won’t decay.

The heart still beats, but not the same
it whispers loss in love’s own name.
Silent, unseen, yet burning strong 
a pain that hums life’s saddest song 

When Illness Speaks

Diseases come not just to break,
but to whisper truths we often forsake.
In pain, the body softly cries,
Slow down, see life through gentler eyes.

Each fever burns what we must release,
each scar reminds us, healing is peace.
Sickness, a teacher in silent disguise,
showing how fragile yet strong we rise.

When darkness visits, we learn to see,
that every ache has meaning to be.
For even in weakness, wisdom grows
through every wound, the spirit glows.

Let Go and Move On

Let go… and move on, my heart,
no more thoughts, no more tears to part.
Time keeps ticking, soft yet strong 
all must change, we move along.

Life may be brief, or endless and wide,
mortal steps on immortal tide.
Even the deepest thoughts run dry,
and memories fade, no matter how we try.

For what we keep, time will renew 
the heart forgets, to find someone new.

Chand Chhupa Badal Mein

 

Chand chhupa badal mein
Sharmake meri jaa
Aaja re aaja re
Aaja re aaja re

Chand chhupa badal mein
Sharmake meri jaa
Aaja re aaja re
Aaja re aaja re

Yeh dil uda uda jaaye
Aaj kisi ke milne ko
Pyaar mein jhoomta jaye
Aaj kisi ke milne ko

Chand chhupa badal mein
Sharmake meri jaa
Aaja re aaja re

Main yeh sochu saanjh savere
Kaise maine bitaye re
Tere bin kaise din mere**
Kaise maine bitaye re**

Main toh tumse aankh mila ke
Sab kuch keh jaati re
Chand chhupa badal mein
Sharmake meri jaa
Aaja re aaja re

Yeh nasha kya keh raha hai
Dilruba tu samjha ja
Jo nasha yeh keh raha hai
Dilruba tu samjha ja

Kya bataaun haal dil ka
Tu toh mera humraaz hai
Chand chhupa badal mein
Sharmake meri jaa
Aaja re aaja re
